Battles for Falls Festival?

Two months ago FL reported that electro-pop band Metronomy are a good chance to play Falls Festival this December, and now it seems the rumour mill is well and truly spinning with Battles indicating they too may be here over the New Year’s period.

On another note that BDO was the first time I tried to go out of my way to not get sunburned and made the rookie mistake of putting sunscreen on my forehead. As the day heated up a lethal cocktail of sweat and sunscreen sluiced into my eyes and I spent the entirety of My Morning Jackets set in tears.

I went with Braveheart, and we went to see Neil Young when the rest of our mates saw The Prodigy. I am a Neil Young tragic and he was seeing the prodg the next night.

No queue at all for the d but we had two full cans of beer. I stuck mine in my shorts pocket and tried to cover the bulges with my arms, so i'm walking along with unnaturally still arms with beer running down both thighs, disgusting. Braveheart waltzes through, the guy asks me to raise my arms. Clearly I have two beer cans in my pockets. Massive bulges, wet patches around them. He frisks me! totally no need at all. he gets to the beer cans, he starts feeling them. They are frigging cold wet beer cans, it doesn't take a bloody genius. Then he starts squeezing them. Squeezing them! I'm like mate, they are clearly beer cans. Can i just go in? He looks me up and down and thinks about it and says no.

The context was I was smashing Dear Science at the time, couldn't go to the sideshow because it clashed with one of the others I was going to and was absolutely pumped for the BDO show and left a bit deflated

Last year had Klaxons, Joan Jett, the National and Interpol as headliners (in WA anyway)... Death Cab and Arctic Monkeys tower over all of those bands. If they got both the organisers would struggle to fill out the rest of the lineup with decent bands.

I don't think Death Cab would play a festival here anyway, from memory they never have played a festival here (unless they played Splendour 1 year?). They seem to love doing a full tour cause they easily sell them out. Arctic Monkeys though, I could see them playing Falls/Southbound.
